SASH-I-IOLDEB. FOB WINDOWS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

lPatented June 1'7, 1919.

Application filed April 10, 1919. Serial No. 289,103.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CrrAnLns NYSTROM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Westchester, borough of theBronX, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sash-Holder for Windows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved sash holder for windows arranged to permit of securely holding the sash against rattling. Another object is to permit the user to conveniently adjust the holder to allow raising or lowering the sash. Another object is to permit of conveniently applying the device to a window sash without materially altering the construction thereof or that of the window casing.

With these and other objects in view, the

invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is an inner face view of a window provided with the improved sash holder;

Fig. 2 is n enlarged face view of the sash holder as applied and with parts shown in section;

Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4: is a perspective view of the sash holding bar; and

vFig. 5 is a face view of a modified form of the sash holder as applied and with a portion of the window bead broken out.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the sash holder is applied to lower and upper sashes 10 and 11 mounted to slide up and down in the usual guideways 12 of the window casing 13. 'Each of the sashes 10 and 11 is preferably rovided on each stile 14: with two sash iiolders, one near the top and the other near the bottom. Each sash holder comprises a face plate 15, a screw 16 and a holding bar 17 The face plate 15 is preferably let into the face of the stile 1 1 and is fastened thereto by screws 18. The face plate 15 is provided with a central aperture 20 engaged by the head 21 of the screw 16, which latter screws in a threaded aperture 22 formed in the holding bar 17 The holding bar 17 extends within a recess 25 formed in the stile 14; and a portion of this recess 25 is opposite the stop bead 26 which forms part of the window casing 13. The end 27 of the holding bar 17 is offset and extends through the recess 25 into the guideway 12 to abut against the inner edge of the stop bead 26 with a view to press the stile 14 of the sash 10 against the parting strip 28 forming a member of the window casing 13. It will be noticed that on turning the screw 16 in one direction the holding bar 17 is moved outward thus engaging its end 27 with the stop head 26 to press the stile 1% against the parting strip 28 thereby holding the lower sash against rattling. The holding bar 17 of the sash holder for the upper sash 11 bears against the parting strip 28 with a view to force the stile of this sash against the outer stop bead (not shown) to prevent the upper sash from rattling. On turning the screw 16 in the opposite direction the bar 17 is moved inward thus disengaging the end 27 from the corresponding stop bead 26, or the parting! strip 28 in the case of the upper sash, to allow convenient up and down sliding of the sash 10 or 11 in the guideways 12 of the window casing 13. It is understood that the holding bar 17 is free to move in a transverse direction in the recess 25 but is held against u or down swinging movement in the recess and consequently the holding bar 17 is moved either forward or rearward on turning the screw 16 in one or the other direction. In practice, the head 21 of the screw 16 is provided with the usual diametrical slot 30 for the application of a screw driver to permit of conveniently turning the screw in either direction, as above explained. The head 21 is preferably conical and the opening 20 is countersunk and likewise the front portion of the threaded aperture 22 to provide a seat for the head 21 of the screw 16.

Instead of the offset end 27 of the bar 17, use may be made of a friction roller 40 j ournaled at 11 at the outer end of the bar 17, as plainly indicated in Fig. 5, otherwise the construction is the same as above described, and the action of the friction roller 40 is the same as above described relative to the end 27 of the bar 17.

It is understood that I do not limit myself to the number of sash holders used on each sash 10 or 11 as only one sash holder may be suflicient for each stile 14 to hold the sash against rattling.

It will be noticed that the device is very simple in construction and can be readily applied to sashes as now used, it being only necessary to form the recess 25 in the sash and to attach the face plate 15 to the sash with the screw 16 in engagement with the face plate and the bar 17 in engagement with the screw.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a window, a sash holder for windows, comprising a faceplate having an opening and adapted to be fastened to a window sash, a screw extending through the said opening and having a head seated in the said opening, and a locking bar having a threaded hole in which screws the said screw,

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of the said locking bar having an offset outer end portion adapted to engage the stop head of the window frame 111 which the sash 1s 'slidably mounted.

2. In a window, the combination with a window frame having a stop head, a window sash provided in each stile with a recess, a portion of which is opposite the said stop head, a face plate attached to the sash and extending over a portion of the said recess, the face plate having a central opening, a screw extending through the said central opening of the face plate, the screw having a head adapted to be seated in the said central opening, and a holding 'bar engaging the said recess and having a threaded opening in which screws the said screw, the outer end of the bar being offset and adapted to engage the said stop bead.
